表达客观结论findings
例词:indicate that, suggest that, find out, conclude that, point out, report that, demonstrate that…
考点:But Byers points out that the benefits of increased exercise disappear rapidly after training stops, so any improvement in endurance resulting from juvenile play would be lost by adulthood.
解析:配对题目是典型的人名和成果的配对,我们到文章中定位人名就比较好找到答案,可是人名出现的地方就一定是考点么?不见得。但是一旦表达客观结论的信号词与人名同时出现时,就是考点出没的地方了。这类观点信号词在
GMAT阅读中还是比较容易找到,也就比较容易定位的。
表达主观观点statements, opinions
例词:say, believe, argue that, maintain that, claim…
考点:The UCSF researchers maintain that the simplest and most cost-effective action is to establish smoke-free work places, schools and public places.
解析:这道题考察区分a finding和an opinion。表达个人观点(an opinion)带有一定的主观性,所用的信号词显然与客观事实发现(a finding)的有所区别。除了上面列举的例词之外,很多表达主观想法的GMAT阅读考试词汇都可以做这样的判断。
特殊符号
例词: ‘word’, ——, word…
考点:In very significant cases of role change, e.g. from a soldier in the ranks to officer, from bachelor to married man, the change of role has to have a very obvious sign, hence rituals.
解析:通过对特殊符号的使用,我们往往能很轻易的找到考察的考点,有时候即使时不认识的生词也没有关系,只要能判断出考点所在,联系前后文加以理解就能找到正确答案。
以上就为大家整理的“GMAT阅读中的信号词总结”。
